Japan Vacation 2016

June 3-4 SFO to Narita. 10 hours on plane, arrived jet lagged and tired. Took Limo bus to Shinjuku Hilton Hotel and got lost trying to find our Hotel,a couple blocks away. Streets in Tokyo are so confusing. K fell asleep on the bus, and left my jacket when we got off. Checked into hotel, and they gave K a gift, she got to select a toy from a basket, and hubby and I got a little packet of personal items too, plus snacks! We went in search of some grub, it's now around 6 pm on Saturday. Went to the food basement of Odakyu Department store. So many delicious things to choose from.... Ended up with some fresh tuna sushi for K, bento for hubs, chicken karaage, and sushi for me. 

Some views of our hotel room, walk and food:

Fell asleep around 8:30 pm Tokyo time, or 4:30 am US time. Woke at 4 am local time natch. Ugh.

It was a bit cold and raining. Grabbed breakfast at McDonalds. Walked around the Shinjuku station area, and visited my usual hotel, Keio Plaza. K and hubby got some fresh musubi. Then we went to the observation deck of Tokyo Metropolitan Government building. Cool views. Our first time there!

Ate ramen at Ippudo, across from our hotel. Yummy! We are getting a branch near our home, but everything is better in Japan!

Some other cool things nearby:

Then we rested a few hours, until my friend came to meet us for dinner. Curry at Moyen Curry. So yummy! Here is my chicken curry. I found it on Yelp, a couple blocks from our hotel. 4.5 star rating. About 1200 Yen. K got avocado curry, 1400 Yen. It had filling inside the avocado that she didn't care for.

That is our first day and a half in Tokyo!
